Baking flour mixture was made by combining 4 ounces of bleached flour which costs $8 per ounce with 16 ounces of unbleached flour which costs $3 per ounce. What is the cost per ounce
of the mixture?

4 ounces x $8 per ounce = $32

16 ounces x $3 per ounce = $48

4 ounces + 16 ounces = 20 total ounces

$32 + $48 = $80 total cost

$80 / 20 ounces = $4 per ounce cost

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
